Summary
This study tests whether giving a heart medication called dobutamine early, before signs of heart failure appear, can help newborns with HIE (a brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth). Forty babies receiving standard cooling therapy will be randomly assigned to get either the drug or a placebo. The goal is to see if early heart support is safe and possible, and if it might reduce brain injury and other complications.
